Mattress Reviews By A 25 Year Mattress Expert: Objective Testing, Easy To Read Recommendations

My name is Marc Anderson and I spent 25 years as a mattress designer and manufacturer. I learned very quickly that most people hate mattress shopping and get frustrated with all of the marketing mumbo jumbo. Reading mattress reviews can also be confusing and boring!

Even worse, there’s nothing more terrible than walking into a mattress store and having to choose between 35-40 mattresses that kind of all feel similar, or wading through endless mattress reviews with far too much scientific data.

How do you know if you’re paying too much, or not investing in something that’s going to feel just as good five years from now as it does the day you buy it? From memory foam to latex, hybrids to innerspring, I’ll help you make a sound mattress purchase you won’t regret!

Easy To Understand Mattress Reviews

Our trustworthy recommendations of the web’s best affordable mattresses include a carefully chosen list of honest mattress retailers offering top quality mattresses at the best possible prices.

Rather than reviewing and listing hundreds of mattress options to choose from, Marc offers only about 50 brands in his Trusted Dealer program, simply because it’s very difficult to make the cut!

Having just a handful of mattress options makes your mattress shopping experience less miserable and less mystifying. Any suggestions or thoughts? Need any help? Contact us today.

My proprietary mattress reviews involve actually sleeping on and using each mattress we test- for weeks.

After we review them, we place each mattress into a long term reviewer’s home and monitor the process over time- we call this a”deep review”.

We also source reviews on the web, especially Google reviews, and sort them by positive vs. negative experience.
